Pregnancy After Miscarriage Part V....Still checking those knickers? Check together here :0)

[LackaDAISYcal]

New thread for knicker checkers every where

Off to catch up with and link the old thread.

I thought I'd make it official and finally add myself to the inmates list. I reckon at 13 weeks I can do so now!

Spoke to my mum-in-law last night, and she came out with a comment that just keeps going round in my head...

"just remember - what goes up must come down!

Nice!!! Trouble was it popped into my head this morning at an extremely inappropriate moment with DH...

Hi all
dan, you may regret asking how I am - woke up feeling sick and eventually left for work at about 9.30 but 2 miles down the road had to turn round and come home! Ate a few dry biscuits and felt a bit better, then slept for 4 hours, now feeling a bit sick again and really think I should try and eat something!
On top of that we should (finally) be exchanging on a house tomorrow and moving next Friday and there is so much sorting and packing to do!
Am trying to think positively as I guess the sickness is a good sign and the house move would be fantastic!

grinningbee - 13 weeks is v impressive! Congratulations! Can't wait to get there myself!

Hi Dan - Thanks for asking. You made me smile at the 10 year comment, doing ok atm. Have knicker checking to extreme and just cannot feel positive about Tues. Someone said on another thread that you don't want to give up on lo but you are also shielding yourself from more grief I guess that's sums me up totally. All my symptons seem to have left but I don't know if that's my ming playing tricks on me now. Got a few family things planned for the weekend so hopefully that will keep my mind occupied with nicer thoughts. Sorry you are not feeling too good, chase the midwife up tomorrow if you haven't heard from her and hopefully she can put you mind at ease for the weekend.

Ginningbee - Well done 13 weeks!!! And don't think about what MIL said, well not for now anyway.

Ses - Take it easy and do what makes you feel better, the problem is what works one day doesn't the next but it doesn't last forever.

Sticky beans to everyone and take care

hello sorry just have to blurt this out dh is sleeping but went to the toilet and there is blood, pink but still blood been feeling odd over the last couple of days

am really really upset about this, previously every time I bled I lost the pregnancy so I guess am on that road now
maybe I should just give up going for another baby not sure I can go through this again

Miss edith - I can't believe I am reading this, I am in the same situation just went to the toilet 5 mins ago and there is blood, very light and brownish but still blood. I have been expecting it to be honest haven't felt right since last week but it is still a shock. I am at work atm (working nightshift) and am going to head home and phone the epu in the morning. I am already booked in for a scan on Tues looks like I will be going sooner rather that later. I don't know in you area if you can self refer or not but if you can give them a call in the morning so you can get a scan. I am typing this and in shock my hands are shaking and I also can't believe it has come to this again.
Take care and know you are not alone, I am positive this is another mc but hope your outcome is not the same as mine.

Why do these things alway happen at night

mm1509 sorry to hear it is exactly the same pattern as last time. woke up a bit listless and can barely find the will to call the GP or EPU, not even sure they accept self referrals here, just feel empty and thinking this might be the last time I put us through this.
just feel like letting it happen over the weekend and call on Monday for confirmation next week

miss edith - I called the EPU and they will scan me at 11:45, to be honest I am questioning why I am going I am already sure of the outcome. Don't do this on you own get the medical support you deserve, although I know what is happening I guess I just need to hear it confirmed. I will be checking in more than normal today for support so if you want to chat I'll be here. Take care xx

Thinking of you mm1509 and MissEdith.
Sending big hugs.x

mm and missedith you are in my thoughts and prayers this morning. Try not to lose all hope yet. Many people get bleeding in their first trimester and go on to have a healthy baby.

mm and missedith crossing everything for you both - we've had loads of ladies with heavy and regular bleeding right through their PGs on this thread so all is not necessarily lost (though I know what you mean about protecting yourself from the grief - I still have worries about this little one and what the outcome will be)

missedith & mm1509 thinking of you both today.

Has anyone else had numbness at the top of there left leg. Comes and goes not really anything painfull as such just irritating. not sure if its pregancy related but have only noticed it since then, but then I now notice everything waiting for the cramps that signify a mc

still no sign of a phonecall from epu hoping to try and get this sorted today, as if it goes into another week I'll go crazy. or else to a private clinic. My parents have even offered to give some money towards it.

grinningbee congrats on making it to 13 weeks

mm and missedith Thinking of you both today and hoping for a positive outcome. So sorry you're having to deal with all this worry and uncertainty
Aquababe Can't remember any numbness I'm afraid but hopefully somebody will be along soon who can answer your query. The early weeks are always worrying - hopefully it's nothing but one of those weird pg symptoms which crop up from time to time.

well hopefully if i do fall again will be back here knicker checking soon, wiat and se gud luck everyone else xx

hi all thanks for thoughts
my hospital does not accept self referrals and the first appointment is for Monday afternoon,

I feel quite detached now it is a sunny day and dd wants to go out playing but not sure I can manage tbh

missEdith and mm - thinking of you both. xxx

Hi everyone - Well still here for the moment. Bean has grown since last week but still only measuring 6 weeks and still no hb I should be about 8+4 by now so don't know what to think. The bleeding has settled down for the moment and I am booked in for another scan on Thursday if things do not get worse over the weekend. The midwife couldn't make a decision on the viability of the bean and will see how it looks next week if we get that far. Don't know what to think atm, it is good news that there is growth but feel it is only prolonging the agony and teasing us with hope that will only be dashed. I am going to stay off work until after the scan and take it easy, DH orders.

Missedith - how are you feeling, I can't believe that you cannot get an appointment before Monday. Has the bleeding settled or got worse? I really hope you are feeling ok and are not alone.

mm1509 that sounds some what hopeful although don't envy the lack of certainty

am home alone with dd, she is very good company but the poor kid would rather be running around in the park. dh offered to stay home but I did not find it necessary
to be honest I just want to go back to bed

I am sorry if this is depressing everyone else
will just wait and see

meant to say bleeding not worst just wipe brown blood not much in way of cramps either but to be honest I have hardly moved from the sofas today

missedith that's a good sign if you are not getting much cramps or bleeding. To be honest I haven't ventured to much further than the sofa either since I came back from the EPU, feeling a bit sorry for myself tbh. Don't worry about depressing everyone I know exactly what you are going thru atm and I am sure I am not the only one.

missedith Don't worry about depressing everyone else we understand it's tough

mm i remember the 'left in limbo' being one of the worst things. Can't imagine how your going through this.

thinking of you both

I have some good news finally managed to chase down someone and after a little incident(really didn't see those tears coming) managed to get an appointment for monday morning

missedith hang in there, if it helps any I had some bleeding at 7wks (bright red fresh, then brown for about 24hrs) and had myself, DH and best friends convinced it was all over only to find a bean with hb on scan 3 days later, those 3 days were a complete rollercoaster. I'm 10wks now and have had no more bleeding. Obviously am still petrified and am still terrified of losing it again but I've had 2 positive scans since bleed.

mm1509 I'm so sorry you're having to go through this, I'm really wishing you well and hoping your scan on Thursday is good news. I'm getting rescanned on Thursday too and it seems such a long way away - if we both wish the time away maybe it will go quicker. You stay right here with us, you?re still a knicker checker and unfortunately many of us on here are all too familiar with the feelings you?ll be having and the support you need.

aquababe good luck for Monday morning

I thought I was being so brave saying no I?ll be fine to wait another 2 wks till scan but now I?m thinking what a silly cow I was to say that!! Have sore , hot boobs but no sickness, am sooooo tired but can?t seem to shake the worry of mmc. Am keeping these thoughts to myself as rl friends seem to get frustrated at me being negative but I know you guys understand.

Oooh missedith and mm no more apologising - this is exactly why we are here!

mm the growth and the fact that its still sticking has got to be a good sign - hold on to that and wish sticky thoughts! Good phrase as well about not wanting to give up but protecting yourself from possible pain. its the old one day at a time and well done you for taking time off work.

missedith as scotlass says, bleeding is so common its almost compulsory, and many many people are okay. So crap that you have to wait til Mon tho. [anger]

acquababe well done on the tears!! and good luck for mon.

scotlass know exactly what you mean - its an eternity to wait when you feel like this. But it WILL pass, and 10 weeks is great going...

I gave up on my crappy midwife and saw my lovely lovely GP today and I have a bad urine infection which she said might explain the pain I have had. Gave me antibiotics and told me not to worry (when I told her I thought I had done untold damage by ignoring it fr 2 days). She also did the doppler thingy and it was there immediately, strong fast heartbeat and it was moving around a lot. So that helps me and will calm me for about two days....the worry remains I am afraid! Oh and the other good thing is that the midwife is leaving...

missE and mm - thinking of you and vent all you like. We've been there and we understand.

Morning everyone

Missedith - hope you are ok today, it really is a roller coaster of emotions we are on at the moment, I am just trying one day at a time atm. Take care

Scotlass - RL friends cannot know the emotions of what we are all going thru, that's why we are all here. If it's any help I am finding weekly scans are not all they are cracked up to be.

Dan - Good news on hearing the hb , and at least you don't need to put up with that midwife much longer. Try not to worry and look on the positives, strong hb and lots of movement, you will be complaining about the movement in months to come. That's for the hugs much appreciated.

Dbno - I guess that's exactly why I am here, it really does help to speak to people that understand.
